- Question
- asked Her Majesty's Government:What action they are taking to ensure that junior doctors are not disadvantaged in applying for specialty registrar posts by the Medical Training Application Service's technical difficulties.
- Answer
-
Recruitment to specialty and general practitioner training programmes this year is, for the first time, through the online Medical Training Application Service (MTAS) and to a nationally agreed timetable. This process consists of two recruitment rounds. For the very small number of applicants who had problems submitting their application forms via MTAS by the deadline, there was a process in place for their cases to be considered by a scrutiny panel. Individuals have been notified directly of the results of this process, and 20 applicants were allowed to submit late applications.
